Hello, we will stream real TV channels in private network (via VLC) and playout server is not very reliable.
When impot stream will brake (= no stream or empty buffer), we want to stream "monocsope" (=pre-defined picture) without output stream brake. And when imput stream will be back, we want to stream it again - this all without VLC restart and without output stream brake.
MANY thanks for any help...

I suppose it's not possible with vlc.
It's easier to engineer more reliable input stream source, than to embed the functionality you had requested.
